  Everyone deserves a GOOD job and there is a GOOD job out there for everyone!                                                                                                     By, Career Coach Kathy Shabotynskyj September 2020. Noteworthy (and blog-worthy) due to two significant events. One major milestone has been on my horizon for 40+ years and the other, about 3 years in the making. These observations reinforce my passion for my Career Coaching practice and my gratitude for those who enhance my life through their hard work.  For a bit more than three years, a new roof has been needed. We patched and patched until my roofer spoke up, “Kathy, you need a new roof.”  I am thr...

Resigning and Resolving in the time of Covid-19

Resigning and Resolving in the time of Covid-19 In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity. Sun Tsu Written by, Kathy Shabotynskyj & Nafije Prishtina This week, one of my clients needed a letter of resignation.  Yes, even during the pandemic, people leave their employers. It is a recommended practice to leave a job properly by submitting a letter of resignation.  My client was afraid to tell the company he was departing. His employer is an air conditioning company and it is the middle of summer. With a short note of thanks and a date of departure spelled out in the letter, my client was prepared to leave on good terms. The blow-up he anticipated never materialized.

For example, if I want to say something fast, I feel like people do not understand what I say, and when I speak soft, to ensure the words are clear I bore people to death . For these reasons and more I decided to set a goal to improve my public speaking skills. I found and joined the best club in town, South Beach Toastmasters, where I currently serve as the club President. Becoming a member of the Toastmasters International was one of my best...
